"People ready to do jail time for Patrick Mahomes?" - NFL fans react to reports of Tyreek Hill receiving death threats after comments on Chiefs QB

Tyreek Hill has revealed that he’s been getting death threats from fans following statements he made recently about former teammate, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

On his It Needed To Be Said podcast, the new Miami Dolphins receiver compared Mahomes to his new signal caller, Tua Tagovailoa. Hill claimed that Tagovailoa was more accurate than Mahomes. This apparently pushed fans over the edge and the wide receiver began to get death threats.

Following Hill's revelation, NFL fans took to social media to share their thoughts on the matter.

One fan was shocked that people are ready to do "jail time" for Mahomes:

One Chiefs fan said that Hill needs to keep his mouth shut for a while:

Another Kansas City fan chimed in, commenting that the hate Hill is getting is unnecessary.

A Miami Dolphins fan said that people issuing death threats need to reevaluate their life and belief system.

This Chiefs fan feels that Hill's claims were just to garner attention for his podcast, It Needed to be Said:

One person thinks that nobody is trying to harm the receiver and that he's not getting death threats:

Tyreek Hill's quarterback comparison

Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes

On the first episode of the It Needed to be Said podcast, Hill, who was traded from the Chiefs to the Dolphins in the offseason, responded to a question about his old and new quarterbacks.

Although the wideout confessed that Mahomes had a much stronger arm, he noted that his new quarterback in Miami, Tua Tagovailoa, was more accurate.

In the second episode of his podcast, the Dolphins receiver mentioned death threats, saying that people are reacting based on emotion.

“On every social media account I own, I got death threats. I just feel like a lot of people overreacted for no reason. They really didn’t see what I said. A lot of people are just acting off emotion.”

He also mentioned in the same episode that he believes in Tagovailoa, who's on his way to greatness.

“We all know Patrick Mahomes is great... But, right now, I’m going into a new season with a new quarterback who’s trying to head in the same direction as Patrick and do great things and lead this team to a Super Bowl championship — who is also great, in my opinion. He just doesn’t have the accolades yet. I believe in him.”

We'll see how the three-time All-Pro and six-time Pro Bowler fares with his new quarterback in Miami in the 2022-23 season.
